A document of this nature cannot cover every set of circumstances that may be encountered in the diverse and complex social setting of public schools. Therefore, administrators charged with the responsibility of creating and maintaining a physically safe and educationally appropriate learning environment may find it necessary to use options and procedures not specifically addressed in this handbook.
This Student Handbook contains policies and procedures that were in place at the time the handbook was published. Since the publication of this handbook, some items may have become inaccurate or incorrect due to changes in Board Policy, Administrative Procedures, or Building Procedures. This handbook is intended, in general terms, to describe some of the rights and responsibilities of students in the Robinson High School, and to set forth appropriate regulations governing student behavior.
Every school district has the inherent right to require cooperation from its members, staff, and students in the performance of its educational function and to take appropriate action when the conduct of any of its members impedes, obstructs, or threatens the harmony of the institution or the realization of its educational goals.
As in the fundamental working of a democracy, Robinson High School students will not be deprived of any of their rights without due process.
Statement of Jurisdiction
All handbook and school rules apply to all school-sponsored events, even those occurring off-campus, on non-school days, and before of after regular school hours.
Students are encouraged to visit with the counselors for personal guidance and for information on grades, study help, testing programs, and college and scholarship information. The counselors are available to discuss home, school, or social concerns.
The grading system for Community Unit No. 2 grades 3-12 is based on a 4.0 scholastic system. Letter grades have the following values: A – 4; B – 3;
C – 2; D – 1; F – 0; I – Incomplete.
Letter grades will be determined using the following scale:
District Grade Point
Grades Grading Scale Regular Section
“A” Superior 94-100 4.0
“B” Above Average 84-93 3.0
“C” Average 74-83 2.0
“D” Below Average 64-73 1.0
“F” Failing Below 64 0
Grade Point Average – A cumulative grade point average is based upon academic semester grades only and is calculated on a 4.0 grading scale. The determination of Valedictorian/Salutatorian and top 10% will be based on this 4.0 grading scale.
CREDITS REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION: 29 CREDITS

All graduation requirements must be met before participating in the graduation program.
Students who make no conscientious effort to pay attention, work in class, turn in assignments, and/or who use time unwisely will be considered guilty of misconduct (disrupting their own learning) and subject to disciplinary action for violation of a school rule. Additionally, teachers may assign after school study time to any student who is receiving an accumulated failing grade of “F” in any class. Monday through Thursday, the detention hall will house students assigned after school study time. Students who make little or no progress toward the necessary credits for grade promotion/graduation may be subject to an academic progress review by the administration to determine the problem for the poor academic record of the student and to consider alternative education placement.
Quarterly Honor Roll – At the conclusion of the first, second, third, and fourth quarters, a scholastic Honor Roll will be announced by the school through local news media.
Incomplete grades are given at the discretion of a student’s teacher. Teachers are to record incomplete grades only if necessary. In general, only students who have missed days at the very end of a grading period and have not completed all assigned work will be issued an incomplete grade.
The use of strict guidelines and testing help assure the proper placement of students in math and English classes. Detailed information about these guidelines and testing may be obtained from the guidance department.
At quarter, teachers will report student progress to parents/guardians via a report.
In the past few years, many changes have occurred in the area of student records. Both Federal and Illinois law go into much detail on the rights and responsibilities of students, parents, and school officials. Following is a summary of the major provisions of these laws and regulations:
Parents must be notified annually of their rights under the law, as well as applicable district policies and procedures, Copies of the laws, rules and regulations and local policies on student records are available from the record custodian of each school and the superintendent of the district.
Robinson Community Unit School District #2 is in full compliance with state and federal regulations regarding asbestos abatement in all district buildings. The public is invited to inspect those plans at any time during regular business hours at the District Office located at 203 South Jackson Street, Robinson, Illinois.
Students living a mile and a half from the high school are provided bus transportation to and from school. Paid transportation is available for those students living closer than a mile and a half. Students and parents must fully understand that riding the bus is a privilege, not a right. Time on the school bus is a definite extension of the school day, and those who wish to ride the bus must understand and abide by the rules and regulations determined by the school for the safety of students.
Students are to depart from buses only at their regular stop unless written parental request is received. This request must state the reason, designate a place of departure, and must be presented to the main office. The school will then issue the student a bus pass authorizing him/her to leave the bus as requested. Students are under the jurisdiction of the school on the way to and from school. This means school rules apply at bus stops. A student causing continuous problems shall be reported to the Director of Transportation and the Assistant Principal. Reported offenses may result in misconduct points, detention, or suspension from the school bus. In the event of serious violations, immediate suspension from riding the bus may result.
Board policy states: “Bus Drivers are to be obeyed” The following safety rules will be enforced:
Effective August of 2002, House Bill 3938 (PA 92-0793) amends sections 1-20.28 and 34-18.14 of the Illinois School Code by allowing local school boards to establish appropriate rules governing the use or possession of cellular radio telecommunication devices by a student while at school, on school property, during regular school hours, or at any time involving school functions. For safety purposes, cell phones are allowed at school; however, they must be turned off during the school day and are only to be used in case of an emergency. Emergency is defined as a time when the student is in a situation where immediate help is required in a potentially life threatening situation. Students who have cell phones turned on during the school day when no life- threatening emergency exists may have their phone confiscated and regular school discipline will apply.
It is important to balance the interest of a student with a communicable disease in continuing to attend school and the interests of others not to be subjected to a direct threat to their health and safety as a result of their contacts with the student.
Communicable diseases are those diseases so designated by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Each case of a communicable disease shall be handled and documented on an individual basis. The administration may require any student believed to have a communicable disease to submit to an initial medical examination and may exclude the student from school, pending receipt and evaluation of the results of such examination. Following such examination, a student with a communicable disease shall be excluded from school and/or contact with others in District facilities for any period in which the medical evidence shows that his/her continued attendance would pose a direct threat to the health and safety of self or others and that such direct threat cannot be sufficiently reduced by reasonable accommodation. Factors to be considered shall include the student’s age, cognitive functioning and ability to control his/her behaviors and body functions.
Whether or not the student continues to attend school, he/she must provide the District on an on-going basis with periodic updates of his/her health status, including the results of subsequent tests, changes in medication, diagnoses and prognoses. The District may require additional medical exams as it deems necessary. Exploration of reasonable accommodation shall include consultation with the affected student’s parents/guardians. Any student receiving special education services shall be entitled to have any decision reviewed by the team authorized to do so under the applicable proceedings for the administration of special education.
Contacting school personnel on non-school days
Contact with school personnel should be made during school hours if possible. In case of emergency, parents/guardians should first attempt to call the high school office at 544-9510. Calls may also be made to the Central Office at 544-7511 or to the homes of the high school Principal or Assistant Principal.
Dances may be held during the school year provided they are planned and cleared through the Assistant Principal at least one week prior to the activity. Dances held after home games will end no later than 11:30 p.m. Dances not held on ball game nights will end no later than 11:00 p.m. Dances will be held no longer than three (3) hours. Middle school/Jr. High students are not to attend RHS dances/prom and are not to be guests of Robinson High School students.
Any student or guest that leaves the dance prior to its conclusion will not be allowed to return.
Dropping/re-enrolling in school
Any student who officially drops from school may not re-enroll until the following semester.
Each classroom has specific directions for students to follow in case of emergency. Teachers will explain these procedures to each class at the beginning of the year.
No student shall be refused admission into or be excluded from any course of instruction offered in the common schools by reason of that person’s gender. No student shall, solely by reason of that person’s gender, be denied equal access to physical education and interscholastic athletic programs or comparable programs supported from school district funds. Anyone who has a complaint should refer his or her complaint to the building principal.
Participating in the graduation ceremony is a privilege not a right. The graduation ceremony symbolizes successful completion of the educational process at the secondary level. For disciplinary reasons and under appropriate circumstances, the school may deny a student the privilege of participating in the graduation ceremony. When time allows, the school administration will attempt to notify the student and his/her parents that such a decision has been made. A student who can graduate, but is denied the privilege of participating in the graduation ceremony, will receive his/her diploma through the mail or by picking it up at the school office at the convenience of the administration.
Soliciting, encouraging, aiding, or engaging in hazing is prohibited. “Hazing” is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act directed against a student for the purpose of being initiated into, affiliating with, holding office in, or maintaining membership in any organization, club, or athletic team whose members are or include students. Students engaging in hazing will be subject to discipline consequences.Integrated Pesticide Notification Policy
It is the policy of Robinson Community Unit School District #2 to implement and practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM) procedures to control pests in school buildings and minimize the exposure of students, faculty, and staff to pesticides. The public is invited to inspect those plans at the District Office located at 203 South Jackson Street, Robinson, Illinois.
RHS has Internet access available to students. Cyber Patrol protects our system, and students are not allowed to use the Internet without a teacher monitoring their usage. A copy of the Internet Policy will be provided to new students at registration. A parent and the student must sign a permission slip before the student may use this resource. Once this signature is placed on file, this will be sufficient for all four years at RHS.
Following is a partial list of items not allowed to be brought to school: water guns, CD/DVD players, electronic games, cell phones that are turned on, headphones, lighters, laser pointers, radios, skateboards, pagers, roller blades, or any other non-necessary item that could disrupt the educational process. If brought, such items may be confiscated for parental retrieval and discipline consequences may be applied. Teachers may, at their discretion, allow these items in their classroom as needed
A student who enrolls in Robinson High School more than ten (10) days after the beginning of a semester must provide current student records. If the student is unable to get records from the sending school, the district will contact such school to verify attendance and grades. Students transferring from another Illinois public school must have the Illinois State Board of Education student transfer form. A student who fails to produce this form will not be enrolled. Students who fraudulently use this form to enter Robinson High School will be dropped from our rolls immediately. Students who have not attended any school since the beginning of the school year may be required to enroll in an alternative educational program or wait until the start of a new semester. Transfer students who have failed or are failing one-half or more of their courses may be recommended for enrollment in an alternative education program or wait until the start of new semester.
All students are entitled to use the library and check out materials with a valid student ID card or planner barcode. However, library privileges may be suspended or revoked for failure to return overdue books or pay fines. Loss of open campus lunches may also result from delinquent library records.
Books marked “Reference,” are to be used only in the library. All other books may be borrowed for two weeks (15 school days). Current magazines may be checked out for one day. Books may be renewed once or at the librarian’s discretion. A fine of 10 ¢ per school day is charged for each overdue book up to a $5.00 maximum. A fine of $1.00 per school day is charged for overdue current magazines. Individual overdue notices are sent out at midterm and at the end of the quarter. Although attempts are made to contact students with delinquent records, it is the responsibility of the students to check their fine records in a timely manner.
Students are responsible, and will be charged for, any books they damage or lose. Payment on lost books, which are later found and returned, shall be refunded minus a fine, the amount of which is determined by the librarian and principal. No books or other library materials may be taken from the library without being properly checked-out. Students may not check-out books using another student’s ID card or planner.
The school maintains a “Lost and Found” box in the main office. Students who find lost articles should take them to the office immediately. Owners of lost articles should also claim them as soon as possible. All unclaimed articles are held in the office for a brief time and when the school year ends, they are donated to a charitable organization.
The cafetorium is a dining room, and students are expected to conduct themselves accordingly. Good manners are expected of everyone. Students are to report immediately to the cafetorium for their lunch period and are to stay in the cafetorium until their lunch period is over unless they have a pre-arranged pass from a teacher. Students are not allowed to leave the cafetorium to make phone calls. Robinson High School is a “closed campus”; students are to remain on school grounds and in the cafetorium during the lunch period. Students who are not in the cafetorium for the entirety of their lunch period or who do not have a pre-arranged pass will be considered truant during that time. *Note: There are a few special “open campus” days; eligible students must have a signed parent/guardian open campus permission form in order to participate.
When purchasing a lunch, each student will have a student ID card that will be scanned as the student picks up a lunch. Students may pay by the week, month, or year; paying daily is discouraged as it slows down the line. Money will be deposited into accounts on the first day of the week. The cost of a type A lunch is $1.80 per meal (approximately $8.75 per week). Breakfast is $1.45 and is served from 7:25 - 7:55 am. Students who arrive for breakfast later than 7:55 will not be served.When a student’s account is low on money, the student will be notified so money can be deposited into his/her account. Any student who loses or destroys his/her card or otherwise makes it impossible to scan, will pay $5 to have it replaced if they wish to eat school lunch. Parents will be notified if their son/daughter makes a habit of charging lunches so that the bill may be cleared.
All medication must be kept in the office. Prescription medication must be brought with specific directions from the physician. Parents/guardians may bring aspirin, Tylenol or other over the counter (OTC) medication if they wish. A parent/guardian note to administer “as needed” can be kept on file in the main office. Containers must be clearly marked with student’s name and dosage information. Medication, including OTC medication, will not be dispensed without parental permission. Unclaimed medicine is discarded at the end of the school year.
Though precautions are taken to guard against loss or theft, incidents of each can still occur. Students are urged to leave large quantities of money and valuable personal effects at home.
Students are subject to discipline for littering, loitering, damaging or defacing the property of persons in the vicinity of Robinson High School. Students shall not litter, walk across, trespass upon, loiter around or damage any such property while going to or from school or attending extra-curricular events. No RHS student shall be on the premises of Nuttall Middle School during the school day unless prior approval has been given by the administration.
The school has the right to assign consequences to students for their off-campus conduct. Should a student’s off-campus conduct materially or substantially disrupt or pose a true threat and interfere with the school’s educational functions, then the student can be disciplined. Additionally, students whose off-campus web sites perpetuate such conduct or pose a perceived true threat to staff, students or the school are subject to discipline and possibly criminal charges.
Parking on school property is a privilege not a right.Students may park in this location only upon the issuance of a parking permit indicating that the car has been registered for the current school year. Permits are available in the main office for $10 and must be renewed each year. The parking lot west of the football field is either assigned or reserved parking. Students who have been assigned a spot in this parking lot will be notified at registration. Cars that do not have a parking permit or that are parked illegally may be towed without advanced warning at the student’s expense.
Vehicles are to be parked in the student parking lot throughout the day. There is NO PARKING by students in the faculty parking lot or any other reserved parking spots beyond the east side of the football field. Violators will be penalized as indicated in the misconduct point system and/or the vehicle is subject to being towed at driver’s/owner’s expense.
The school assumes no responsibility for loss of personal property or damage to cars parked on the campus. It is strongly suggested cars be locked while parked and unattended.
Rules and Regulations for Vehicles
The following regulations shall apply twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, to all operators of motor vehicles, regardless of residency, as soon as said vehicle enters the property of Robinson High School.
a. Speed limit: Ten (10) miles per hour.
b. Unauthorized vehicles on campus will be reported to local law officials.
It shall be the policy of the Board of Education that all pupils have a physical examination and a complete immunization record according to School Code of Illinois Section 27-8.1. All 9 th grade students must have a physical examination prior to the beginning of the school year and complete immunizations against measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, and polio. If a student at any grade level is new to the district (out of state or out of country), a 9 th grade physical examination with complete immunizations must be presented or a new one obtained. New or transfer students with NO immunizations must have the first series completed prior to entering school. Parents of pupils who are in attendance without complete health records will be informed of their responsibility to the law. According to state law, students not in compliance must be excluded from school. All students with incomplete health records will be excluded from school until their records are complete.
Students enrolled in P.E. classes are required to wear gym shoes, white sweat socks, and a Robinson High School P.E. uniform, available for purchase at registration or from the P.E. Department personnel.
If a club and/or activity wants to publicize an event, its sponsors/officers must contact the Principal, Assistant Principal or Athletic Director for prior authorization. Any material posted within the building must be stamped “APPROVED” before it may be posted.
A student who is injured at school or at any school-sponsored activity must report the accident immediately to the teacher, coach or supervisor in charge at the time of injury, no matter how minor. This is important for insurance purposes. If medical treatment is necessary, the accident should be reported immediately to the Principal’s Office, which will make arrangements for treatment and the filling out of necessary student accident forms.
Any clubs, groups, or classes wishing to schedule or rent the cafetorium must get permission and schedule it through the Assistant Principal. Scheduling or renting the gymnasium must be done with the Athletic Director.
A basic fee for each student is due and payable at registration. This fee furnishes students with textbook rental. The fee does not include the cost of P.E. uniforms, participation fees for many activities and sports, insurance, or yearbook. Seniors will be charged an additional fee to cover graduation expenses. No senior will be permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony unless all fees are paid in full
School registration fees will be waived for students whose parents are financially unable to pay for such fees. Determination of eligibility for fee waivers will be based upon the following: Any student who qualifies for free lunch or breakfast pursuant to 105 ILCS 125/1 et seq or is currently receiving aid under Article IV of The Illinois Public Aid Code (Aid to Families with Dependent Children).
The Board of Education authorizes the use of video surveillance cameras to monitor the activities of individuals in the school district’s facilities and on school district property, with the exception of locker rooms, washrooms/restrooms, and theater dressing areas. Parents and guardians will also be notified annually that video cameras are being used in those school facilities and on school district property.
The supervision and control of all video equipment will be the responsibility of the school administration. All video is recorded digitally and stored in a central processing unit.
All recorded information is for official use only. Members of the Board of Education, the Superintendent, Associate/Assistant Superintendents, Principals, Assistant Principals, and other appropriate personnel designated by the Superintendent are authorized to view all recorded information made in school facilities and on school district property for the purposes set forth above. The Superintendent or designee may authorize the administrators to show relevant portions of the videotapes to students, groups of students, their parents and guardians and/or groups of parents and guardians. The recorded information may not be used for general showings to other individuals or groups and may not be given to the media. However, with permission of the Superintendent, the recorded information may be made available to law enforcement officials for use in accordance with this policy.
Students are not allowed to make verbal and/or implied threats to teachers, staff` and/or other students, which could alarm, disturb, or interfere with the orderly operation of the school. Statements such as “I’ll kill you,” “I’m going to bomb this place,” or other comments that could be construed as threats to the safety of our students and staff members will not be allowed. Similar to airport check-in-points, implied threats will be taken seriously. “Kidding around” about shooting or killing someone is not appropriate in our society and will not be allowed in our schools. Students cannot bring toy guns/weapons and/or look-alike guns/weapons to school. The District’s policy on real and look-alike weapons will continue to be strictly enforced. The school wants to prevent situations where students may act before they realize the seriousness of the consequences related to the above situations. Our teachers and other staff members have also been asked to emphasize the above issues with students. Most importantly, when students hear of potentially dangerous situations, they must feel comfortable in communicating these conditions to their parents and/or teachers.
School Safety and Unsupervised Areas:
Students are not allowed to be in the parking lots or any area other than the one to which they are assigned during the school day. Students who have left needed items in their car must first get permission from the office to go to the parking lot. Students found in the parking lot areas, football field/track area, or any other place on or off campus to which they are not assigned will be considered truant and the truancy consequences shall apply.
Lockers are school property and are provided to students as a convenience. Students should not expect privacy in their issued lockers or consider them private property. This handbook informs students in writing and students may be informed orally from time to time, that the lockers are school property. The administration may, as it deems necessary, open lockers in a general administrative search of all lockers in order to recover missing library books, textbooks, and/or other school materials, and also in checking for the presence of other items not reasonable or prudent for storing in student lockers.
Additionally, when there is reasonable suspicion that a student locker contains illegal or improper items, and that a search will expose evidence that a student violated or is violating either the law or school rules, the administration may open individual lockers and seize any such items found.
All students shall be assigned one main locker to use during the school year. Any damage to that locker will be assessed to the student. Students may not switch or change the locker they have been assigned. Students may not share lockers.
Certified employees may search students, students’ purses, or other personal belongings when there is a reasonable suspicion that the student or item to be searched contains illegal or improper items, and that a search will expose evidence that the student violated or is violating either the law or school rules. In cases where the administration is not certain that reasonable suspicion exists, the advice of legal counsel may be obtained. In appropriate cases, law enforcement officials shall be notified.
Searches: Student Vehicles
Student vehicles may be searched when there is reasonable suspicion, based upon information given to school personnel, that the vehicle contains illegal, improper or dangerous materials or that a search will expose evidence that a student has violated or is violating either the law or school rules.
Community Unit #2 Board policy 7:20 states “No person, including a District employee or agent, or student, shall harass or intimidate another student based upon a student’s sex, color, race, religion, creed, ancestry, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, or other protected group status.” The District will not tolerate harassing or intimidating conduct, whether verbal, physical, or visual, that affects tangible benefits of education, that unreasonably interferes with a student’s educational performance, or that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive educational environment. Examples of prohibited conduct include name-calling, using derogatory slurs, or wearing or possessing items depicting or implying hatred or prejudice of one of the characteristics stated above.
Complaints of harassment or intimidation are handled according to the provisions on sexual harassment as outlined below. The Superintendent shall use reasonable measures to inform staff members and students that the District will not tolerate harassment, such as by this policy’s inclusion in the student handbook.
Sexual harassment of students is prohibited. A person, including a district employee or agent, or student, engages in sexual harassment whenever he or she makes sexual advances, requests sexual favors, and/or engages in other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual or sex-based nature, imposed on the basis of sex that:
The terms “intimidating,” “hostile,” and “offensive” include conduct that has the effect of humiliation, embarrassment, or discomfort. Examples of sexual harassment include touching, crude jokes or pictures, discussions of sexual experiences, teasing related to sexual characteristics, and spreading rumors related to a person’s alleged sexual activities.
Students that believe they are victims of sexual harassment or have witnessed sexual harassment are encouraged to discuss the matter with the school’s Nondiscrimination Coordinator, Building Principal, Assistant Principal, or a Complaint Manager. Students may choose to report to a person of the student’s same sex. Complaints will be kept confidential to the extent possible given the need to investigate. Students who make good faith complaints will not be disciplined.
An allegation that one student was sexually harassed by another student shall be referred to the Building Principal or Assistant Principal for appropriate action.

Robinson High School offers appropriate Special Education Services for eligible students. It is the responsibility of the school to screen and determine the eligibility of handicapped students. Every eligible student will be provided with the following: A determination of his/her individual needs; appropriate educational placement in the least restrictive environment; an individualized education program.
Provision of special education services is determined and managed by a team. The members of the team are (1) the parents, (2) authorities of and for the school district, and (3) the students. Parents who have questions about special education services or who wish to request determination of eligibility for their student should contact the Community Unit 2 Special Services Department.
The reasonable regulation of school attire and personal adornment is within the school’s authority and is consistent with its responsibility to provide an appropriate environment for learning. Each student’s attire and grooming should promote a positive, safe, and healthy environment within the school.
Student/Parent/Guardian Responsibility
Although the school wishes for each student to accept responsibility for following the rules set forth below, it understands and appreciates both the authority and responsibility of the parent/guardian relative to student dress. The school solicits the support of parent/guardian in the enforcement of its dress code.
General Rules
The following decorations and/or designs (including tattoos and brands, either permanent or temporary) imprinted upon or attached to the body or clothing are prohibited:
Symbols, mottoes, words or acronyms that convey crude, vulgar, profane, violent, death-oriented, gang related, sexually explicit, or sexually suggestive messages;
Outerwear
Students must store outerwear (coats, hats, gloves, scarves, etc.) in their lockers upon arrival at school. Outerwear will not be permitted in classrooms, cafetorium, library, halls, or other areas of the school building after arrival unless authorized by the school’s administration.
Head Coverings/Sunglasses
Upper Garments
Lower Garments
Footwear
Students shall wear footwear for protection and hygienic reasons while on school grounds, participating in school activities, or on school transportation.
Accessories
In the event of an unusual situation or one that is not specifically addressed in this policy, the building administration has the authority and discretion to rule on the appropriateness of the attire in question. Student may be asked to change into a P.E. uniform or go home to change.
All visitors are to go directly to the main office to secure a visitor’s pass before going anywhere in the building. Student visitors are not allowed during the school day unless pre-arranged with school administration. Student visitors who should be in attendance at their own schools will NOT be allowed.
There is a general misunderstanding about certain provisions of the Illinois law relative to attendance. According to the Illinois School Code, pupils are required to attend school until they become seventeen years of age, unless they are unable to attend due to physical disability. This does not mean that a pupil in attendance may quit as soon as he or she becomes seventeen. If a student becomes seventeen while in attendance he/she must attend school unless physically disabled or until he/she has properly withdrawn from school under the provisions of the School Code. Furthermore, responsibility for attendance at school is not, by law, upon the pupil but upon the parent. That is, the parents/guardians have the responsibility of seeing that all children of school age attend.
Good attendance is necessary if a student is to experience the degree of success that he/she is capable of attaining. Very few absences should be for reasons other than personal illness, illness in the family that prevents attendance, and unavoidable family emergencies. Parents do not have the authority to excuse all student absences. Illness and death in the immediate family are recognized as valid excuses for absences by the State of Illinois. In order to achieve academic success, students must attend school regularly. All students and parents/guardians should familiarize themselves with the following Robinson High School attendance regulations
The accurate keeping of the attendance register is very important. For this reason, the school needs to know from parents/guardians when their student is going to be absent. Robinson High School recognizes two types of absences: excused and unexcused. Excused absences carry with them the privilege of making up academic work and unexcused absences do not.
EXCUSED ABSENCES: (teacher is required to allow student to make up missed class work)A student with a Regular Excused Absence will have an equal number of days to make up missed schoolwork. (1 day to make up work for each day absent). Students are responsible for making arrangements with teachers to complete all schoolwork missed during their absence. All work will be completed to the teacher’s direction, which may be different than the direction given to students present for the class.
I. Regular Excused Absences are unplanned or unanticipated absences, which become necessary from time to time for various reasons. Such absences include, but are not limited to the following:
When a student is absent for an unplanned or unanticipated reason like those listed above, a parent/guardian should call the school (544-9510) before 11:00 a.m. to report the absence. Calls may be made before office hours and a message left on the school’s voicemail system. Students whose parents call in and are excused do not need to report for an admittance slip.
When a student returns to school from an absence, if a phone call has not been received in the office to report the absence, the student must report to the office to check in. Additionally, to be considered for an excused absence, the student must return to school with a note. The student and his/her parents/guardians have two school days to clear an absence with either a note or a phone call. VERY IMPORTANT: If no note or call has been received by the end of the second day, theabsence will be marked “unexcused” and it shall remain “unexcused.” Regular consequences for unexcused absences (that is, Saturday School) will apply.
II. Pre-arranged Excused Absences are all absences, which can be planned for or anticipated in advance. Such absences include, but are not limited to, the following:
NOTE: Hunting permit will be required for such absences.
Note: When a student is absent for a planned or anticipated (i.e. Pre-arranged) reason like those listed above, he/she is required to bring a note from home to school explaining the reason for the absence. The note must be brought to the office for approval a minimum of two school days prior to the planned absence, in order to be considered excused. Also, for a Pre-arranged absence, the teacher may require that all schoolwork be completed and turned in prior to the student’s actual day(s) of absence.If any parent desires a pupil to be excused from a portion of a school day (i.e. a medical appointment), the pupil is to present in advance a written request from the parent for such a checkout privilege. A “green” slip must be secured from the main office before the school day begins. Upon return to school, a student must bring a note from the doctor, dentist, court, etc. to receive an excused admittance to class. The “green” slip alone will not admit students back to class.
In case a student becomes ill during the school hours and is forced to leave the building, a “green” slip must be secured from the office. Failure to do this will result in an unexcused absence and the student will be considered truant. The school will contact the parent/guardian or person listed as the “emergency contact” before granting permission for an ill student to leave the building.
UNEXCUSED ABSENCES : (teacher is NOT required to allow student to make up missed class work). Students with unexcused absences will receive zero grades for any schoolwork due on the day of their absence(s).
Unexcused Absences do not carry with them the privilege of making up academic work and require that time missed be made up in Saturday School. Unexcused absences include, but are not limited to, the following:
PLEASE NOTE: An unexcused absence cannot be excused by a parent/guardian. Regardless whether parents/guardians knew of the student’s absence, it is still unexcused by the school, and the discipline policy regarding consequences will be followed.
Any student who is absent from school and/or is not in his/her scheduled or assigned class/area, and/or leaves school for any portion of the school day without proper arrangements as described above is considered truant. Additionally, any student who is absent from school or is not in his/her assigned class/area without parental and/or school knowledge and consent, will be considered truant. Leaving school without permission and/or without signing out is considered truancy. School personnel shall make a reasonable effort to contact a student’s parents/guardian in the event of known off-campus truancy. The call will be placed to the most recent home and/or work numbers that parents/guardians have supplied to the school. If telephone numbers are disconnected, out of service, no longer applicable, not provided, or if the phone line remains busy after three attempts have been made, parents/guardians will receive notification of truancy via the U.S. Postal Service. Students are responsible for informing their parents regarding Saturday School assignment(s), and the school will send the Saturday School assignment information to the parents/guardians at the mailing address that parents/guardians have supplied to the school. The school is not responsible for lost or misdirected mail, or for lack of a current mailing address.
Truancies include, but are not limited to, the following:
Ongoing attendance problems will be reported to the Regional Superintendent for investigation by the truant officer and the Crawford County Truancy Board; the State’s Attorney, if appropriate, may initiate legal action.
EXCESSIVE ABSENCES :
This section of the handbook will be approved at the August 2008 board meeting. Upon approval, the new section will be mailed home to parents/guardians.
Attendance during final exams
Students must be in attendance for those classes in which they are required to take a final exam. A completed Medical Attention Form from a doctor is required to take a “late final” for any student wishing to be granted a medical excuse. Generally speaking, no other late finals will be administered; however, the administration reserves the right to address individual requests.
Special Rules Regarding Absences:
A student may not attend school events when absent, suspended, or when s/he has been assigned Saturday School or after school detention
No student may attend (even as a spectator) or participate in any school event on a day of suspension (in or out of school) or on the day of an absence unless it is pre-arranged; otherwise his/her absence will be considered unexcused. Additionally, students who do not attend assigned detentions and/or Saturday School time will not be allowed to attend or participate in any school event(s) on the day of the detention or Saturday School.
Working, shopping, etc. on a day of absence
A student who does not attend school due to a Regular Excused absence (e.g., personal illness or extraordinary emergency in the home or family) but who attends work, goes shopping or participates in other such activities inconsistent with a valid absence from school, will be considered unexcused from school, and regular consequences (i.e. Saturday School assignment) will apply.
College Days (Senior Visitation Days)
Seniors may be excused from school as needed to enroll or visit campuses out of the area. Arrangements and approval must be made in advance in order to obtain class work prior to the absence. Campus visitation forms are available from the guidance office and verification of these visits must be given to guidance office personnel upon student’s return. No more than six (6) students may be granted college days on any given day. No college days will be granted after May 10. Any violation will be counted as unexcused.
Parents picking up students for lunch
Students are allowed to be signed out for lunch, during their lunch period, by their parents, guardians or grandparents only. The person picking up the student must come in to the office to sign the student out and have that student back at the appropriate time.
The administration and faculty of Robinson High School believe that extracurricular activities play a key role in the development of social, leadership, and teamwork skills. All students are strongly encouraged to be a part of one or more of the high school’s many academic or athletic extracurricular programs. Since students in these programs represent our school and community, failing to meet the standards outlined below risks forfeiture of the privilege to participate in extracurricular programs at Robinson High School. Note: all standards listed below are minimums. Students should be advised that some extracurricular programs may maintain higher standards than those listed below.
ACADEMIC STANDARDS FOR PARTICIPATION
Students must be passing a minimum of three classes (that is, three credits) as determined by weekly grade checks and at the end of each semester. Students failing to meet this minimum requirement are considered ineligible to compete.
*Weekly: Students not passing at least three credits as determined by a weekly grade check are ineligible for the subsequent week.
*Semester Basis: Students not passing at least three credits determined by an end of the semester grade check are ineligible for the subsequent semester.
Early Dismissal for Extracurricular Activities
On occasion, due to scheduling conflicts beyond our control, we may have to dismiss our extra-curricular teams before the end of the regular school day. In keeping with our philosophy that academics are our first priority, we want our participants and coaches/sponsors to see that they take care of these responsibilities when early dismissals are necessary. The following procedures will be followed:
Clubs/Organizations
Officers, captains, or comparable student leaders of various school clubs or organizations are held to the same minimum standards as outlined under Athletic/Academic Teams above.
General Guidelines Regarding Academic Eligibility
*The cumulative grade in progress for a particular course will be used in determining weekly eligibility. That is, it would be the grade that would be recorded on a report card if issued at that time.
*Students not meeting academic eligibility requirements will not be allowed to participate in performances, contests, or meetings; however, they may be allowed to attend practices with coach or sponsor approval.
*In order to participate in a contest, students must be in attendance for at least three instructional periods the day on which the contest is scheduled (excluding activity period and lunch) and must arrive no later than the start of second period (excluding death in the family, medical appointments, or other reasons allowed by the building administration).
Gross Disobedience or Misconduct
Students may be disciplined for misconduct, including gross disobedience and misconduct for actions that occur off campus or on school property. Students may be disciplined for misconduct that occurs while traveling to or from school, at bus stops, school sponsored activities (home or away), while being transported or traveling to or from school sponsored activities or events, or for events stemming from school. Students may also be disciplined for acts of misconduct, including gross disobedience or misconduct directed against school employees, their families or their property, because of their status as employees.
The Board of Education Policy includes the following items of gross disobedience or misconduct, which may lead to suspension or expulsion of a student pursuant to the Provisions of 10-22-6 of the Illinois School Code. Gross disobedience or misconduct specifically include but are not limited to the following:
CONDUCT CONSIDERED DISRUPTIVE TO THE LEARING PROCESS AND MISCONDUCT POINT SYSTEM
Misconduct Point System : The misconduct point system was approved by administrators, teachers, parents, and the Community Unit 2 Board as a program designed to insure that students conform to the school rules and policies. Points serve as a notice of misconduct and/or violation of a school rule. The four main components of the misconduct point system are as follows:
1. Points may be issued upon violations of school rules.
2. Points accumulate throughout the school year and start over with each new school year.
When a student receives an office referral, it indicates that normal classroom discipline has failed to deter the action/behavior. The following consequences are administered at RHS for first time and subsequent offenses:

Tardy Students
The classroom teachers and the administration will use the following procedure: Students are permitted to be tardy to class twice without an office referral for consequences (“tardy” is defined as arrival to class periods after the bell has rung, but within 20 minutes of the start of the period and within 5 minutes of the start of activity period). If a student accumulates a 3 rd tardy to class or activity period per semester, his/her teacher will write an office referral. The consequences for sets of tardies (3 tardies = 1 set) increase as the number of sets increase.
1 st set = 1 detention
2 nd set = 2 detentions
3 rd set = 2 hours Saturday Detention
4 th set = 4 hours Saturday Detention
5 th set or above = In–School Suspension or Out-of-School Suspension
Students who arrive to class 20 or more minutes late to each of the four class periods and more than 5 minutes late to activity period or lunch are considered “excessively tardy” to that class and will be issued Saturday Detention to make up their time*. The amount of Saturday School assigned will be one hour for every class/activity period to which the student is excessively tardy. Saturday School assignments will be for no less than one full hour.
*Students who have NO referrals for the current school year may be given a warning for the first “excessive tardy” provided that it is for the student’s first class of the day held at Robinson High School AND the student’s parent either calls the school that morning to excuse him/her or the student brings a note from his/her parent/guardian excusing the excessive tardy. The note must be brought either the day of the excessive tardy or before school the next school day. If no call is received and no note is produced before school, regular consequences, i.e. is Saturday School, will be applied. Should a second “excessive tardy” occur, regular discipline, that is Saturday School, will be assigned.
Cell phones are not to be used in the building by students from the time the student enters the building until the student has exited the building at the end of the school day unless it is an emergency situation. Leaving books/assignments at home, needing lunch money, forgetting practice/P.E. clothes, etc. is NOT considered an emergency. It is highly encouraged that students use the phone in the office for all non-emergency calls. If a cell phone is confiscated, the following policies will take effect:
1 st Confiscation: Detention assigned. Phone held for parent to pick up, but only after student serves the detention. 10 points assigned.
2 nd Confiscation: Two hours of Saturday School assigned. Phone held for parent pick up no sooner than the first school day after the Saturday School is served. 15 points assigned.
3 rd Confiscation: Four hours of Saturday School assigned. Phone held for parent pick up at the end of the semester. 15 points assigned.
4 th Confiscation: If a student requires a 4 th conference due to a cell phone confiscation, the administration will deal with the discipline on an individual basis.
If a student text messages or calls another person (parent, guardian, etc.) without permission during a non-emergency situation, this will be considered a cell phone violation and the phone will be confiscated.
Saturday School is to be completed on the day that it is assigned. Saturday School will not be assigned to accommodate the student’s schedule (work, family trips, appointments, athletic or other school activities/competitions, etc. ) A student with a Saturday School assignment who is absent the day before for illness will be re-assigned their Saturday School if they are still ill the next day. This may happen one time for the school year.
After the first time, the student must have a doctor’s note excusing him or her from school and Saturday School. The doctor’s note must be presented the day the student returns to school. If no note is presented to the office, the missed Saturday School will be considered unexcused and regular consequences (time doubled to suspension and 15 points) will be issued. If a student with a Saturday School assignment does not attend on the day he/she is assigned, that student will not be allowed to attend or participate in any school functions that occur that day.
The welfare and safety of our students is of the utmost importance to all employees of Community Unit #2. Driving a school bus is a very important part of the educational system, and carries with it a great deal of responsibility. Therefore, bus drivers are expected to maintain proper discipline on their buses.
Bus drivers are to maintain a safe and orderly atmosphere on their bus. At the beginning of the school year, students and parents should be made aware of the expectations, rules and regulations, and consequences for misbehavior. Bus drivers are authorized to handle minor discipline problems.
A student causing continuous problems shall be reported to the Transportation Director who in turn will notify the appropriate building administrator. The driver should fill out a conduct report and inform the child that they will be officially written up for their misconduct. The misconduct notice should be turned in to the Transportation Office immediately. The District enforces a “Three Strikes, you’re out” policy, as outlined below, for bus misconduct.
First Reported Offense – The bus driver will call the parents of the student causing the problem and will explain the situation. Parent cooperation in correcting the problem is the goal. The bus driver will fill out a bus misconduct notice and turn it in to the Director of Transportation. The driver will state the result of the parental contact. The misconduct notice will be forwarded to the appropriate administrator for placement in the student’s discipline file. The student’s parents shall be notified if any disciplinary action is to be taken. The parental notice will specify that the next bus incident will result in a bus suspension.
Second Reported Offense- The bus driver will call the parents of the student causing the problem and will explain the situation. Parent cooperation in correcting the problem is the goal. The bus driver will fill out a bus misconduct notice and turn it in to the Director of Transportation. The driver will state the result of the parental contact. The misconduct notice will be forwarded to the appropriate administrator for placement in the student’s discipline file. The student will be suspended from the bus for 1 to 3 days. A parent conference (verbal or in person) will be held before the child may resume riding the bus. The parents will receive formal written notice that will specify that the next bus incident will result in a bus suspension.
Third Reported Offense- The bus driver will call the parents of the student causing the problem and will explain the situation. Parent cooperation in correcting the problem is the goal. The bus driver will fill out a bus misconduct notice and turn it in to the Director of Transportation. The driver will state the result of the parental contact. The misconduct notice will be forwarded to the appropriate administrator for placement in the student’s discipline file. The student will be suspended from the bus for 1 to 5 days. There will be a mandatoryparent/student/administrator conference before the child may resume riding the bus. The parents will receive formal written notice that will specify that the next bus incident will result in expulsion from the bus for the remainder of the school year.
Fourth Reported Offense-A fourth reported offense will result in a recommendation to the Board of Education to expel the student from riding the bus for the remainder of the school year.
In the event of serious violations, immediate suspension/expulsion from riding the bus may result at any time.
Minimum due process is afforded to the student before a suspension is imposed. This includes oral or written notice of the charges, an explanation of the evidence, and an opportunity for the student to present his/her side of the story. All of these requirements must be met by the time the suspension ruling is issued.
Each student and his or her parents/guardians must sign the Authorization before being granted access. Please read this document carefully before signing.
